EXERCISE EFFICACY FOR LOW BACK PAIN
Low back pain patients do well with therapeutic exercise in strengthening trunk muscles and enhancing spine stability. There are many exercise options obtainable from core stabilization and strengthening to motor control exercises and muscle strengthening. In one study of subacute nonspecific low back pain sufferers, core stabilization exercises showed that they were better than stabilization exercises regarding proprioception, balance, muscle (transverse abdoiminis, lumbar multifidus) thickness, decreasing patients’ fear of movement, and functional disability. (1) Another study reported core stabilization exercise to decrease pain, improve function, and increase core strength in nonspecific low back pain patients. (2) Spine stabilization exercises and flexion exercises performed24 daily equally helped multifidus muscle thickness in patients with chronic low back pain and spondylolisthesis . (3) Advice: Pick one that you like to do (after we discuss it!)! Your back pain will appreciate it.
EXERCISE FOR NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Despite a diagnosis of non-specific low back pain that may frustrate you (We all want to understand what lies below our pain!), exercise offers hope of its management. A recent study reported that exercise training in-person and via multimedia/video were effective in training back pain patients to appropriately do the more complex motor control exercises. (4) Core exercises with the addition of hip muscle strengthening effectively improved physical activity and function for nonspecific low back pain patients. (5) Fort Wayne back pain patients wanting some pain relief are urged to do exercises as part of their overall chiropractic treatment plan.
EXERCISE WITH SPINAL MANIPULATION
Combining efforts proposes even more hope for back pain patients regardless of diagnosis. One case report of a 24-year-old patient with a recurrent disc herniation and pain after back surgery laminectomy described that flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with rehabilitative exercise (in this case: bird dog and core stabilization) got relief and recovery. (6) In caring for back pain in patients who have undergone back surgery (laminectomy, fusion, discectomy) like the patient described above did, clinicians receiving spinal manipulation are inclined to using gentler non-manual-thrust spinal manipulation while chiropractors tended to use manual thrust. Spinal manipulation was applied less than a year after back surgery in 66% of cases in this study. Treating healthcare providers delivered spinal manipulation with 85% of patients who experienced persistent back pain after spine surgery.
